There’s no escaping the fact that Earthlings evolved to thrive with a certain amount of gravity. So since the early days of space travel, NASA has been trying to figure out what happens to a human body beyond our planet’s pull. The answer to your basic question is still being researched, being as no...

https://pbs.twimg.com/media/DfG4foXUwAAMiEA.jpg NASA's Curiosity rover has found new evidence preserved in rocks on Mars that suggests the planet could have supported ancient life, as well as new evidence in the Martian atmosphere that relates to the search for current life on the Red Planet. While...

Encircling Earth are two enormous rings — called the Van Allen radiation belts — of highly energized ions and electrons. Various processes can accelerate these particles to relativistic speeds, which endanger spacecraft unlucky enough to enter these giant bands of damaging radiation. Scientists had ...

In...

VOTG uses the word "disonant" a couple of times but I'm not sure if it should have a double 's' in there. A quick web search didn't really give a definitive answer. Anyone know which spelling is appropriate? There is also the chance it is a cultural difference. dis·so·nant ˈdisənənt' "unsuitable or...

NASA had yet to be formed, and the honor of this first flight belonged to the U.S. Army. The rocket's sole payload was a javelin-shaped satellite built ...

Thanks to Oddball for the topic idea. Shields in Transcendence can have resistances built into them. These resistances affect how long and how well your shield will protect you from enemy weapons fire. As an example look at the first shield in the image below., the hull plate ionizer. On the third ...

In all seriousness, I did manage to implement the Uzun. But George didn't want to pull it into Corporate Command because it's really hacky and complicated and he wants to do it by allowing tracking to be an enhancement, which would be useful for other purposes and break any saves using my version. ...

Hey all, I just started another playthrough of Transcendence after a long time and was wondering if it's possible to integrate both the Eternity Port and Corporate Command content into the base game? That is, having all the new systems (Centauri, Sol, Tau Ceti etc.) in a single map. It seems that t...
